Star Wars Battlefront DLC: 10 Specific Things Fans Demand
8. The Prequels...Kinda
Okay, not necessarily the prequels, but certainly The Clone Wars that followed them. Already imbued with the fan admiration that the main prequels tried so desperately to attain, both animated interpretations of the Clone Wars conflict serve as great source material as to what a potential prequel expansion could contain.
Characters like Captain Rex, General Grievous, Obi-Wan and Ashoka would all feel right at home in a Battlefront adaptation of the era, and their inclusion would no doubt alleviate fans left audibly distressed by their original omission. We all love the original trilogy, but to neglect what the prequels actually got right (or rather inspired) would only be detrimental to Battlefront's overall success.
Given the house of mouse's current obsession with the OG and new trilogies however, the odds of this package happening are, well... I shan't tell you the odds.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
